Alright!…so this is how our ranking system works here at Red Karaoke. Take your time, read carefully and feel free to post your comments below. Help us make of Red Karaoke a truly memorable experience. Have an awesome weekend everyone!

To start with, recordings on Red Karaoke with 10 votes or more participate in this ranking. Recorded songs with less than 10 votes will not appear in the ranking of most popular recordings The following is the criteria utilized to get the average score of each recording:

Vote tally: The larger the number of votes assigned  to a recording, the better the chances for this song to rise to the top.

Visits: The more visits a recording obtains, the better its position will be in the ranking.

Timing of votes:  The most recent votes attributed to a recording weigh more than previous ones. 

Weighted average of votes: A percentage of votes on the higher and lower ends of the voting range will be deleted from the final calculation. This means that the votes on the higher and lower end of the voting range do not impact the final outcome and positioning in the ranking.

In sum, the system calculates the average of votes and a score on every recording for songs with at least 10 votes.  Based on this score, it ranks the most popular songs on top. The higher the score, the more chances for the recording to rise to the top of the ranking. In case of a tie, whereby the average scores are equal, the recordings with the most accumulated points will occupy a higher place in the rankings.

So what are you waiting for?. Start singing and rise to the top now!
